    Correctly measure system load averages > 1024
    
    The old fixed-point arithmetic used for calculating load averages had an
    overflow at 1024.  So on systems with extremely high load, the observed
    load average would actually fall back to 0 and shoot up again, creating
    a kind of sawtooth graph.
    
    Fix this by using 64-bit math internally, while still reporting the load
    average to userspace as a 32-bit number.
